I tried updating but nothing happens; this is what i did:

1. launch the tool, i have win 7 x86 OS

2. browsed the diff file for 7740 update

3. select zune is not running and create device backup checkbox

4. hit update device

a command prompt comes and goes but nothing else happens
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] theshadow03:
do you have the flashing tool installed??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aramadsanar:
maybe you missed the directory where you store UpdateWP (\Package) folder

or, you can post me the screenshot when the command prompt comes up

no, it's included in the \Package folder, and, the app will automatically loads the UpdateWP.exe in \package\<your architecture>\ so you don't need to install UpdateWP

public static string CurrentDir = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().ToString();
public static string X86 = CurrentDir + "\\Package\\X86\\UpdateWP.exe";
public static string X64 = CurrentDir + "\\Package\\X64\\UpdateWP.exe";

Can you output the console window contents to a text file, so that i can send it across?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] withwindows:
It seems like a wonderful tool. Need to dig deeper before making any comment
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aramadsanar:
hmm, maybe i need to fix it a little bit more
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darthveda:
I used the updatewp command from commandline with this command:

updatewp /iu "filename.cab"

the tool copied the update to phone and rebooted it, and upon reboot, i got the image with red circle on the line from PC to phone indicating not connected. The command line then timed out.

I, manually, rebooted the phone in update mode using power + camera button, and then ran the commandline again and i received 801812C0 error and was unable to continue.

Any idea about this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aramadsanar:
ouch man! red circle to pc means "DO NOT DISCONNECT!" all you need to do now, is reflash from scratch or, if you have restore point, you can click on restore or start zune, and, click yes if you asked to restore your phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
I suggest you use this in the future to update your device with either custom or official roms. There is substantial information available on how to do it and it's made by somebody (heathcliff) with a high reputation and a lot of experience. Looking at the previous posts here I would never use this tool for my device. Sorry aramadsanar, you may be a good programmer, however your answers to questions on what this actually does are minimal. You report about beta testers but we never hear from any on the progress of your tool. Once in a while you appear with an update with no information at all. I still have no idea how this is different than for example the update method above and why I should use it.

So far I've seen only one post on successful use (#20, aside from yourself).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darthveda:
I didn't know that.. anyway i got it to reboot and have not lost any files, and didn't need to restore.

The command line was timing out and it was only after that i was removing the cable and rebooting it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] theshadow03:
i`ve used thie tool again to update to 8107 !! for me the "cab sender tool" doesen`t work !!

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

the only downside is that you can send just one cab file at a time and every time i have to wait to make a backup...and i unpin the "create device backup" the process wont start...maybe you can resolve this 2 issues in youre next release....thx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aramadsanar:
sorry for long2 time disappear, happy new year :)

for post1: yeah, multiple usage turns it into an app crash, damnit, still stuck on it :|

for post2: -_-_-_-_- well, do you check 'create device backup' checkBox?

for post3: well, i'm here to learn, i need to learn more from heathcliff74, he's a great modder. sorry for long time disappear, i'm not running away, i'm still developing, pushing changes, but, lazy to check XDA :D

update: it's going final
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] aramadsanar:
UPDATE: multiple file support is possible now!!!

i tried to make a 8107 Installer with c#, and, i done some experiments with this line

iuAgent_X64.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Concat("/iu ", mainPackage, " ", en_US, " ", en_UK, " ", spanish, " ", czech, " ", french, " ", italian, " ", ch_Simplified, " ", ch_Traditional, " ", german, " /enablebackup");
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] darthveda:
i used cabsender to update to 8107 and the same thing was happening, but this time i let the phone be like that on that screen and after 2 to 3 minutes it started updating..

BTW, if you want to hide the console window then make the member

Process.UseShellExecute = true;

Process.CreateNoWindow = true;

this should hide the command line window

all (maybe) of your bugs has been killed on WPE4 Final with Update3

yes, i tried it, but, i feel uncertain while updating with no console window :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witblitz:
Hi guys,

My Galaxy S i9000 came with stock 2.1. I then upgraded to stock 2.2.1 via Kies a few months back. Phone is not rooted. Has been working fine until last night where, after switching it on, it gets to the Galaxy Logo on startup but then just vibrates (error) regularly and never boots up past that point. Ive taken out battery, charged phone fully etc etc... but no luck.

Heres the kicker - I cant get the phone into recovery or download mode. It just doesnt work. The phone is not "locked" to my provider as I've used it with other sims, however it does have a Vodacom (south africa's vodafone) splash screen after initial boot. Not sure if that has anything to do with it...

So, basically, I cant boot into the phone and I cant give it a hard reset because I simply cant get into recovery mode. Im stuck in no mans land and am desperate at this point. So far, all the stuff I've read involves actually having booted up the phone, which i cant do! (ODIN etc...)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Aran

yes a jig is used to put the phone into download mode,i suggest buying one rather than making one,look here

5 dollars is quite cheap if you want to save your expensive phone, look at the ebay site for your country the link above is for the US,you can also try amazon.com/co.uk or other sites like this
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witblitz:
thanks. if possible i will ask my friend to make one as I will have to wait ages to get that to south africa. do you know of any sites that show you?

lastly, is this the only way I can get my phone to be reset? Is there no way I can plug it in to a PC via USB and somehow force a reset or put it into a mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00338:
Strange, and it doesnt reboot into recovery when you hold vol-up home and power?

What did you do before the phone stopped booting?

if you not have flashed anything and got no intensions to flash to get root i would.advice you to take it to customer service so you dont void the varanty, no need to risk it if you dont need it:-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
Hello everybody,

First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.

So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).

Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...

1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)

http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm

S-Root version used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.

I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).

2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)

I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.

When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.

So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?

Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?

For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.

Thanks a lot.

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROHIT345:
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.

just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).

I got the root access by S2 Root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore..... :eek:

I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.

HALP !!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.

Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...

What should I try ?

I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
Do you think the phone is dead ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
5 posts in a row?

So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...

Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.

In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.

And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt_ray:
Thanks for your reply.

I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.

FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.

For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.

If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Hoping that someone can help me with the following.

I'm a little oldfashioned with phones, so android phones where not my favourite untill my friends decided to take the next generation of phones, android phones. After reading a lot of stuff on forum sites like these, just to gather the knowledge of all those new terms like s-off, rooting, custom roms and flashing and what they mean, I concluded that those type of phones could get bricked or going dead, but with your help most of those almost burried phones can be cured. Knowing that I decided to take the plunge and bought a second hand Desire S phone. According to the seller the phone was s-off, but won't boot and stays frozen in the T-mobile screen. The phone vibrate when you press power and after a couple of seconds it vibrates again and then nothing.

I can get into the hboot screen by pressing volume down + power button, but if I select factory reset or recovery the phone freezes.

The bootscreen looks like this:

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.98.0000

RADIO-38.03.02.11_M

eMMC-boot

Mar 10 2011,14:58:38

I tried different kinds of stuff, like the following:

-	Revolutionary: after first install htc sync and de-installed it I ran this program (before I installed the htc drivers v.3.0.0.007), but the only thing I see is 'waiting for device'.

-	ADB: Same thing. After the command line adb devices no contact with the phone.

-	Android Flasher 1.8: I get popup window with error and no contact with the phone.

-	Copying cyanogenmod 7 v.7.1.0 and renaming it to PG88IMG.zip on the microsd card in the root and boot up the phone into hboot, the phone recognize the file and starts to load it (you see a vertical bar on the upper right side corner of the screen slowly filling). After that… nothing.

Additional info. The phone is charging using the usb-cable. Also when I connect the phone with usb-cable the windows pc recognize the phone and a balloon pops up saying Android1.0. Using the android-usb-drivers I installed the drivers so the pc recognize the phone when connected.

…

So… are there more options that I can do to get more live into this piece of electronics?

I'm open to all suggestions.

Thanks in advance for helping me.

[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
hi

first of all its the radio file u need to change to PG88IMG.zip not the cyanogenMod ROM

now....

install HTC Sync n all know drivers from the setup file on the SD card (of course u may need to uninstall what u first did) and then close the program n not uninstall it

try d adb n ensure u have all the available files on ur pc n in the terminal navigate to where u saved the adb file

to make things easier try using the Android Flasher n ensure ur PC is connected to the internet

when trying all this ensure u have exited htc sync from the task/menu bar

lets see how that goes

cheers
[HTC Desire S] glasius:
Didn't find the time to try things, but now I have.

I've installed HTC Sync on the sd card and put it into the phone. Also I installed HTC Sync on the computer and activated the program.

Next thing I did was booting the phone into hboot and plugged it with the usb cable into the computer.

Then with android flasher I tried everything but everytime the program goes into an error.

So I tried with a terminal window to get acces to the phone, but when I type in adb devices I get error: device not found

When I type fastboot devices I get HT13YTJ11605 fastboot

So then I tried to flash the clockworkmod recovery image with the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then I get

sending 'recovery' <4346 KB>... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... FAILED <remote: not allowed>

So what next...?

I'm out of options.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Theres not that many. If you hit the question mark there's a short list of commands. Tellme is very limited like Google talk and nothing like Siri. Siri is more of an A.I. than a voice recognizion.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aakashraje10:
LIst

Short list of commands is mentioned here :

1) Call someone from your contact list : "Call contact name"

(where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list)

If the person has only one phone number in your contact card, the call will start. If he or she has multiple phone numbers, you'll see an option to choose one.

2) Call any phone number : "Call phone number"

(where phone number is any phone number, whether it belongs to a contact or not)

3) Redial the last number : "Redial"

4) Send a text message : "Text contact name"

(where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list)

This will start a text message to that person. Then you can dictate and send the message—hands-free.

5) Call your voicemail : "Call voicemail"

6) Open an application : "Open application" or "Start application"

(where application is the name of any application on your phone, such as "Calendar," "Maps," or "Music")

7) Search the web : "Find search term" or "Search for search term"

(where search term is what you're looking for)

If you say "Find local pizza," for example, Bing will bring up a map of nearby pizza places.

All other memos I've made are operating fine.

Has my memo got corrupted? Does anyone know how to get it back to normal? The image I'm exporting to is fine and I know I can finish off the picture from there... but it's not the same :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kurantong:
Try this to solve the problem:

1. Find /data/system/packages.xml with Root Explorer.

2. Make a backup of packages.xml right away in the same folder in case we mess anything up any need to restore it later

3. Copy packages.xml onto the root of your internal or external storage

4. Plug your device into your computer and copy packages.xml from the root of your storage over to your computer

5. Open the packages.xml on your computer with your editor of choice - I use Wordpad

6. Search for the string. The lines should look something like this:

<package name="com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo" codePath="/system/app/SMemo.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo/lib" flags="1" ft="135586718b0" it="133696737a0" ut="135586718b0" version="1" userId="10044">

7. then, you need to put/add this: enabled="1" at the last line before the ">" sign. The lines should look something like this:

<package name="com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo" codePath="/system/app/SMemo.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo/lib" flags="1" ft="135586718b0" it="133696737a0" ut="135586718b0" version="1" userId="10044" enabled="1">
